We love and live challenges – your challenges. Whether it's an everyday cleaning chore or an extraordinary project, at Kärcher we want to make your everyday life simpler, better and more pleasant with powerful, efficient cleaning solutions. Our clear, simple innovation philosophy is that innovation is what benefits people. We're perfectionists, always rethinking systems and designs, with the courage to break new ground and the conviction to do things instead of just talking about them.
Founded in 1935 by Alfred Kärcher, we've grown from a small workshop in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt into the world's leading provider of cleaning technology. Today, our family business employs 17,000 people across 170 companies in 87 countries, generating €3.483 billion in sales in 2025. We don't leave innovation to chance – over 1,000 employees in research and development work hard every day to develop new solutions. Beyond cleaning equipment, we're committed to preserving cultural heritage, having restored more than 300 monuments worldwide since 1980 through our cultural sponsorship program.
